Japanese authorities also today informed the IAEA at 04:50 CET that the spent fuel storage pond at the Unit 4 reactor of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is on fire and radioactivity is being released directly into the atmosphere.

I have to ask at this point, why isn't Japan and the US sending aircraft carriers to attempt to evacuate as many of these people as possible? But then common sense tells me as many would die trying to leave than would if they remain and face the upcoming nuclear horror.
Truly an awful scenario.

my word,what a disaster,let us all hope we finally learn from this how serious necular disasters are,and hope we can prevent any more melt downs.id love to see the end of nuke power ,wepons altogether in my life time
